The PC first reviewed the situation with Tutorials. Last minute submissions helped fill the gap caused by some travel budget issues. Thanks to everyone.

We then reviewed the talks in the PC tool. 10 talks were accepted. 1 talk was granted conditional acceptance. 3 talks were declined. 4 talks are being followed up upon by PC members. The result of this review left a few slots in the agenda which we will fill on call #4. The PC feels comfortable in providing Merit with a tentative agenda.
